We are getting up to 8 tables on Weds and some players missing. We once used to get 15 or 16 tables but that's decades ago - do come along ( and bring a friend )..! The hall still has capacity for more.
Beeny ( and Foulger ) Cup
Wednesday 18th September saw the end of the Beeny Cup year. This relates to average results for the third Wednesday session of every calendar month. Results are now posted under Competitions on the menu list. Congratulations to Terry and Reggie for winning the Beeny ( by a tiny margin! ) and to Kevin and Peter Laws for coming second and winning the Foulger Cup.
For this season, we are introducing a handicapped competition for the Foulger Cup ( Beeny still for top pair ) which will depend on your current and comparative NGS ( National Grading Scheme ) scores. This is working now ( with some teething troubles ) and can be viewed under Competitions.
We've included all pairs in the second list of results shown for 2023/24 but remember, for future events, that you need to play at least 6 times with the same partner over the 12 months to qualify.
Hosting: We have re-instated our hosting system meaning that visitors can be sure of a game when they attend. Ivy will be asking members to offer to be host ( on a Wednesday afternoon ) from time to time. The only person who will ever not get a game will be the host who will get a free game subsequently should that happen. We would still be grateful if potential players call first and we will arrange a partner prior to the date. Contact Denise Mabey by email at denise.mabey@hotmail.com
